The River Gardens Café

2 courses £32 | 3 courses £39 per person Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at our hidden riverside café on the Greenwich Peninsula. Christmas is all about gathering the people you love around a table, and there’s no cosier place to do it than The River Gardens Café. Tucked away in a secret spot by the river, our family-run café is the perfect escape from the festive rush: a relaxed, welcoming space where you can slow down, raise a glass and enjoy a proper Christmas feast without any of the stress. Our festive set menu is a celebration of the Christmas classics, cooked with care and served with plenty of heart. Think warming winter soups, crispy golden starters, followed by everything you’d hope for in a festive main, from turkey with all the trimmings (served in a giant Yorkshire pudding, no less) to slow-braised, rich and comforting winter dishes. To finish, it simply wouldn’t be Christmas without a traditional Christmas pudding and warm custard, alongside other indulgent homemade puddings. Add a side of pigs in blankets or honey-glazed sprouts with bacon for the table, and you have all the makings of a perfect festive feast. There’s something for everyone at the table, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices thoughtfully included, so every guest can join in the celebrations. Whether it’s a festive lunch with friends, a family get-together, a work Christmas celebration or a well-earned treat after a wintry walk along the Thames, our team will make you feel right at home. And because Christmas is for the whole family, four-legged guests are welcome too, with fresh water and biscuits always on hand. Since opening our doors in 2019, River Gardens Café has been part of the heart of the local community, and we’re proud to be an OpenTable Diners’ Choice 2026 Award winner. This Christmas, we’d love to welcome you to share in the festive spirit with us. Good to know: The set menu is priced per person and cannot be shared; shared items will be charged individually at full price.
